REGEPTACLE.

Application filed October 13, 1922. Serial 1\To.'594,400.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN I. HniNsoHN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lakewood, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Receptacles, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to receptacles and is directed more particularlyto that class of receptacles which are commonly known as carboys.

Some of the objects of the present invention are to provide a carboywhich shall be Vmade from sheet metal suitably reinforced and providedwith a coating which shall re- Sist the action of acids or otherchemicals which it is adapted to contain; to provide a carboy whichshall effectively resist rough handling that would ordinarily damage theglass carboys in present use; to provide a carbody which shall be simplein construe tion, inexpensive to manufacture, and which shall not besubject to leakage.

In the accompanying drawing wherein I have shown one form of myinvention, Fig..

1 is a vertical sectional view through a carboy constructed inaccordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional viewtaken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a detail sectional viewshowing a modified manner of attaching the cover to the body portionofthe carboy.

Describing by reference characters the va-v rious parts illustrated, 1denotes the body portion of the carboy which in the present instance iscylindrical in shape and pressed from sheet metal. The upper peripheraledge is rolled outwardly and downwardly as indicated at 2, and a bead 3extends circumferentially about the side walls of the body` portion. A.plurality of wooden staves 5 en close the outer side walls 4 and a pairof metal bands 6 and 7 arranged in spaced relationship retain .thestaves in position. As shown in Fig. 1, these staves preferably extendbelow the bottom 8 so as to form a support for the carboy and also toprotect the bottom 8 from severe shocks and dents. An internal metalband 9 is applied to the inner surface of the staves about the portionthereof which extends below the bottom 8, and this band prevents thestaves from splinterino' durin the handling of the carboy. SuitablehandIes l0 may be :fastened to the band 6 at diametrically oppositepoints to facili-` tate handling of the carboy.

The top of the body portion 1 is closed by i a sheet metal cover 12which is provided witha spoutl located adjacent thecircunferential edgethereof. As shown in Fig. 1 the peripheral edge of-this cover isdirected downwardly and inwardly as indicated at 14 and lis of suchdiameter as to overlap the rolled edge 2 of the body portion. Inapplying this cover to the body portion, I first place a ring 15, ofheat resistant material such as asbestos, about the top edge of the bodyportion and then apply the cover thereto. The carboy is then invertedand molten lead 16 or other suitable material is poured into the spacebetween the wall of the body portion and the edge 14 of the cover. Inthis manner the cover is securely held to the body portion and anonleakable joint formed therebetween. The edge 14 preferably eX- tendsslightly below the sealing material 1G so that the upper ends of thestaves 5 may lie notched and fitted therein as shown in f ig. 1.

In order to protect the metal parts of the cai-boy which are exposed tothe actionvof Y to the entire inner and outer surfaces of the K cover12. In this manner I protect the metal portion of the carboy vfrom thechemicals contained therein and also from any chemicals which maybespilled on the cover 12 during filling and emptying of the carboy.

In Fig. 3 I have shown a modified manner of fastening the cover 12a tothe rolled edge 2 of the body portion. In this instance I provide thedownwardly directed peripheral edge 2O with an inwardly directed bead21. A ring 15a of heat resistant material is interposed between thecover and rolled edge 2 and the .intervening space between the bodyportion and edge 2O is filled with mol.-

ten lead 22. The lead is preferably .filled to the shoulder 23 definedbybead 21 so as to I claim is:

1. A carboy for acids and other chemicals comprising a sheet metalvessel having side and bottom walls and open at the top, the

loo

me,l

upper peripheral edge of said side walls being directed outwardlyanddownwardly, a sheet inetal cover applied to the top oj said vessel andhaving the peripheral edge thereof directed downwardly and inwardly andoverlapping but spaced from the peripheral edge of said vessel, thespace between said cover and the walls of said vessel being lled withmolten lead, means for protecting the metallic surfacesvoff said carboyfrom the chemical action of the contents thereof, and

'- a woodencasing enclosing the side walls of 1 said-,carboy andextending below the bottoni v thereof.

l'bottom walls and open at the top, a reinforcing -head extendingcircuinferentially yabout the side vwalls of said vessel, a cover fittedto the top of said vessel and having a downwardly directedperipheraledge portion spaced from the side walls of said vessel,sealing means disposed within the space 'delinedbyfsaid v"edge portionand side walls, a vitreous coating applied to the inner sur` faces ofsaid vessel and cover, and a wooden casing consisting of a plurality ofverticali),7 disposed staves enclosing 4the side walls oi said vessel,the upper ends of vsaid staves being inserted within the space deiinedhy the edge portion of the :cover and side walls of said vessel, and thelower ends of said staves extending belowthe 1nottoin of said vessel.

In testimony whereof, l hereunto aliix my signature. c
